before you renovate an old run-down house, you gotta clear out all the rubbish, and the deeper the rot, the more you gotta do-sometimes back to the foundations. the new govt have been flat stick cleaning up after a decade of rotten leadership. lets see what was on the to-do list... shut down our concentration camps. get our combat soldiers off iraqi soil begin to treat our indiginous people with respect get rid of workplace agreements join the rest of the planet in fighting climate change free refugees from gaol scrap dodgy defence projects get involved in the decision-making process for our diggers in afghanistan
the term 'blue-ar$e flies' springs to mind...
and instead of making decisions on the run, based on a newspoll, an issue is studied, thought thru, and acted on. takes longer, but id prefer my govt to do it this way any day. as for fuelwatch, grocery choice or whatever its called, the more choice we have, the more competition, the more transparency, the better. no-ones forcing you to use it. its there if you want. pretty simple really. rudd doesnt visit japan early in the year and he's shot down. rudd visits our neighbours and he's shot down. rudd doesnt save the murray in 6 months and he's shot down. howard did jack shIt in 12 yrs and nothing is said.
